Reduced service upcoming between NYC and New Haven on weekends between Sept. and November 1st.
In addition to the portal north construction causing cancellations, there will also be greatly reduced service due to demolition of utility towers at the WALK Bridge in Norwalk in preparation for the upcoming replacement. Amtrak has yet to announce the changes to their service, but it is greatly impacting service between Norwalk and New Haven at that time for metro north including two weekends which electric trains won’t be running due to catenary replacement. Those weekends will be Sept. 12-13 and Sept 19-20. Other weekends that will have impacts (to a lesser extent) will be Oct. 10-11, Oct. 17-18 and most likely Oct. 31-Nov. 1. Amtrak has not updated their schedule yet.
